The Fire Pit Thread

[thewoodlands]

Today I burned most of the pine from the stuff I c/s a few days ago. We had a nice rain overnight and again today so things were wet, the heaviest of the rain will come in later this afternoon.

Since we had some hard rains this morning, I changed plans on what I was going to do and split three loads of some junk pine and burned most of it.

my 'go to' fire pit can often be seen with a fire in it day or night. mr Brutus. yesterday i had a fire going most of the day... then picked up on a scrounge just a few houses down the street. all cut up, stacked and ready for pickup. my kinda deal! lol got about 1/3 cord of oak firewood. 3 loads. a nice addition to my 'just around the corner' stack of firewood. perfect size to just 'add another log...'

Ya, I like the black & white pic too.
Looks like you're toasting off the rubber on those shoes pretty good all the while keeping the coyotes and rattlesnakes away.

landed some more oak firewood for outdoor fires other day! just the right size, clean and all cut up. oak. wasn't going to bother, too hot, but then decided to one evening. cooler. next day it was all gone. city pick up. oak rains down here where I am constantly. I just scrounge on the fringes... this load was sweet. next day i dragged in an oak limb from across street... cut up, i guess it will feed a couple refills maybe 4 - 5 times... don't need too much during day time like when its 98f out... lol

like i say... one way or another... it rains oak down here. neighbor came home from work other day to this:

for cooking, fireplace and outdoor pit...

these kind of surprises are not the fun kind. but he was lucky. hit roof, but only branches. topside was only a blow off job. took the 2 of them 4-5 hrs to cut and clean up. none on curb. batt saw for branches and a stihl for the rest...

late August, we usually are in Ban times up along the county line... but so far not this year. too much rains...

watermelon growers suffering this year... harvests low because of all the rains.

$115?
Wow, nice score then.
Mine was $300 CAD but he was asking $400
I bought it because it was nearby and showed little sign of use and came with a brand new 18" bar and chain.
I bought the new 28" bar and milling chains for it from my Stihl dealer.
Works good for what I mill.

hi M - price was right for the 044 - $115 i

To be honest, I haven't ( to my knowledge) contributed to this thread before, nor have I looked through all 41 pages.

<<EDIT - post #78 about 6 years ago I showed my home firepit.>>

But perhaps I can say that this is one of the finer firepits posted here. Still need to get some porch swings to hang from some of the beams, finish installing the rope lights (and get the electricity run out there) and a couple touch ups on the pavers. Also some dirt and grass around the perimeter to finish it off.
Other than that, she's about done!

Spent the day rearranging firewood in the woods yesterday and decided it was just right for a fire in the pit. Warm the hands, get rid of some trash wood, and come lunch time, cook up some doggies:



Recently a big Tulip Poplar came down across one of my trails. I don't use Poplar for firewood, but I wanted a fresh log to sit on near the fire pit. So, I wrestled this top piece of the trunk into place and had my son and pup test it late yesterday. Seemed to be working fine.

Just a quick video of me pulling the Tulip Poplar log to be my fresh bench beside the firepit:

@hoskvarna
Thanks, it's home made like many of them are. From pieces of important stuff that was rusting away around the homestead.
